Aberrant hepatic expression of HLA molecules has been shown to be present in primary biliary cirrhosis and may play a determining role in the pathogenesis of the disease. We have studied the effect of the long-term administration of ursodeoxycholic acid on hepatic HLA expression. Nine untreated pati

We analyzed whether normal human hepatocytes, which normally do not display Class I1 major histocompatibility complex antigens, can be induced to express them in vitro, and whether this induction has an in vivo counterpart in chronic liver diseases. While both a-and y-interferon induced expression o
Mechanisms of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I gene regulation in cells of the CNS have been studied in vitro. Astrocytes in primary cultures, but neither oligodendrocytes nor neurons, constitutively expressed cell surface MHC class I molecules. Interferon-gamma (IFN-.I) treatment led
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is FDAβapproved antiβcancer modality for elimination of early disease and palliation in advanced disease. PDT efficacy depends in part on elicitation of a tumorβspecific immune response that is dependent on cytotoxic T lymphocytes
